A LITTLE HISTORY…

Abby Photography began officially in January of 2008 and was originally established in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Hence the name “Abby Photography” – Abby is a nickname for Abbotsford. While delivering wedding photography to the Lower Mainland, popular demand brought Elisha and her team to Kelowna over thirty times in the first year of business. As a result, she has now relocated and bases Abby Photography in Kelowna, the Okanagan wedding destination but returns to photograph Vancouver weddings often.

Having documented over a hundred weddings, she has provided wedding photography at some of Kelowna’s best wedding venues including the CedarCreek Estate Winery, Sparkling Hill Resort, Lake Okanagan Resort, The Harvest, and the Summerhill Pyramid Winery. Although there’s no place like home for her in the summer, she loves traveling to photograph destination weddings when Canada starts to cool off.

Named one of the Best Wedding Photographers in World by Junebug Weddings, Elisha is also an award winning participant of Fearless Photographers, ISPWP (the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers), the BC Wedding Awards, and PWPC (Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada).

TESTIMONIALS

Elisha took our engagement pictures for us last winter, and my husband and I were beyond pleased by her amazing work. From the minute we met her it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. She went beyond what we thought she would, even walking across a (hopefully!) frozen pond with her expensive equipment just to capture cherished moments of us doing our beloved winter activity… pond skating! She is passionate about people and families and capturing intimate and special moments through a lens. We got all of our beautifully edited photos on a disc, showcased in a leather book, and it did not take long! We will hire her again soon! Thank you for the exceptional work!

– Kolby & Camille Barnstable

Wow. The only word that sums up our day with Abby Photography. My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have Elisha capture us on two separate occasions. One in the hot Okanagan summer, going from vineyard, to carnival, to random spots that could only be seen by the incredibly artistic eyes of Elisha.

The second time we worked with them, in the cold Okanagan winter. What an amazing day! We put all of our trust in them on our special day and they did not let us down in any way. They are punctual, professional, and positive. They took total control of the session and the photos speak for themselves. We recommend Abby Photography to you and look forward to using them for a third time down the road!

– Jordan and Kelsey Hassell

My husband and I were thrilled to be able to work with Elisha for our wedding!

 She was so fun and relaxed to work with, which put us totally at ease and brought out the best of us in our photos, yet she was unobtrusive and professional during key times in the ceremony. 
She also was very respectful of the budgetary constraints we had, so while we knew about the other wonderful options they offer to add to packages, we didn’t feel pressured to spend more than we could afford.
 Elisha really helped us to map out key concerns related to getting the photos we wanted, and they are so well prepared for everything (planned or not!) that comes with a wedding day. We felt very safe in her hands, and LOVE the pictures!

– Mason & Larissa Macklem

My wife and I are so happy that we chose Abby Photography to do our wedding. Elisha was so personable and amazing to work with. Not only did she exceed our expectations, she made it an enjoyable experience! We had a few ideas and she was able to build off those ideas and produce amazing pictures that we will keep forever. 

We were also very impressed with her professionalism. One comment that we kept hearing from our guests was that they didn’t even notice the photographers were there. There is nothing more frustrating than attending a wedding and seeing the photographers in the way the entire time. But for Abby Photography this was not the case at all. To this day, we are still so surprised that they were able to get the shots that they did. 

Everyone who looks at our pictures has been completely blown away. My wife and I will definitely be keeping Abby Photography in mind for any future family photos or similar engagements. They are fantastic!

– Kyle & Beth Rhind

We have nothing but amazing things to say about Elisha’s team! They are amazing photographers, awesome to work with, and incredibly professional. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than we ever could have hoped or imagined! We would recommend Abby Photography to anyone in a heartbeat!!

– Ty & Elisha Portelance

 

Elisha and her team are nothing short of professional and confident when it comes to taking professional photos. If you are looking for stunning shots that are beautiful and unique, they are the photographers for you! They did our pregnancy and newborn pictures for our son Cole and we were absolutely thrilled with them. They captured the most special moments in our lives and now I have those special moments hanging on my wall, where I still just stand there and marvel and admire what such beautiful pictures they are. Those pictures have become one of my most prized possessions!! I can’t even begin to count all of the endless compliments I have received. Their work exceeded all of our expectations and I would recommend them to anyone because they are THE BEST OF THE BEST! I can hardly wait until the next time they take more photos of our family because I wouldn’t get anybody else. Thanks Elisha!!!

Elisha and her associates are so amazing! Not only did our engagement and wedding photos turn out beautifully but they are also the nicest people ever to work with! It was like having a couple of friends with you all day and it was incredible! We would love to have them photograph us again! They are so fun! And very fast and efficient! You get your photos so quickly and they are more than happy to accommodate any special requests that you have. Having wonderful people there for you, people that you feel comfortable with, is really this team in a nutshell. We loved working with them and look forward to working with them in the future! Best photographers ever!!

– Adam & Stacie Richardson

I had a wonderful experience with Elisha and her team! They were creative and artistic in their photography and were incredibly personable. They met with my husband and I ahead of time and really got a feel for us and were able to take absolutely beautiful pictures for us. I used them for both my engagement and wedding photos. I was given a multitude of pictures to choose from, all of them fantastic. They even came out from Kelowna to specifically do our wedding. Elisha and her associate were very artistic in their shots and my wedding pictures were absolutely stunning! We were able to go to a horse farm through their contacts and I now have beautiful outdoor photos with real horses. I will never forget my experience with Elisha and her team as they truly made my wedding day something special. I have recommended them to friends, family, and have given their contact to random people who’ve just gone through my pictures and have asked for them! They were professional, kind and my husband and I found it incredibly easy to work with them. I have nothing but great things to say about this team and encourage any couple to use them! Five stars plus!

– Adrian & April Ombac

Elisha took our engagement photos and wedding pictures. My husband and I could not be any happier with the photos they took. Like a lot of people, we were absolutely terrified of having to have our pictures taken. We thought we were the least photogenic people on earth but Elisha definitely proved us wrong. They completely put us at ease at our engagement session of which then transcended to our wedding pictures. All of our friends and family have commented on how photogenic we both are and how fantastic and creative our pictures are. Elisha’s professionalism coupled with her casualness and ease to be around made our day even more special for both of us. I still can’t get enough of looking at our pictures. We have close to 400 images and all of them are great. I would highly recommend them for any type of photo session without hesitation.

– Derek & Lisa Huber

 

We LOVE Abby Photography! Elisha did our maternity session in May and then our newborn session in June when our daughter arrived and we could not be more thrilled with how all of our pictures turned out. Elisha is very professional and such a talented photographer in every way. She was also able to capture the attention of our 2 year old (which is no easy task!). 
She constantly had creative ideas and neither of our sessions felt at all rushed. 
We absolutely love our photos and they are something we will treasure forever. Thanks SO much Elisha for everything, we couldn’t be happier!

Abby Photography did a fantastic job of our Trash The Dress pictures. We were not from Kelowna so we needed their help to find a spot to have these pictures done and they pulled through. Great location, great shots, they were patient with us and were so easy going – they were fantastic! They even got their feet soaked in the creek in order to capture the shots we wanted. Thanks Elisha and team!

– Dan & Rho Parker

Elisha is INCREDIBLE! She is so talented and fun. She did our wedding photos as well as our engagement session. She simply put us at ease and made it natural and comfortable. She has fabulous and unique ideas. We are so lucky to have found this incredible photographer!

– Chris & Nicole Sailes

Elisha was amazing! Her team was extremely personable, great at setting up shots and were fun to work with, even for people who don’t like to be in pictures. When we saw the photos we were thrilled. Their talent in capturing the moments, the people, and the natural landscape showed big time and we’ll have these memories for life. Having the duo of photographers was excellent to both set up photographs and capture multiple angles. Highly recommended!!!
